In this episode of LatAm Unboxed, Diego Rodríguez speaks with Chris Dalby, journalist, policy analyst, author, and senior analyst at Dyami Security Intelligence, about how Mexico’s World Cup logistics boom could expose companies to cartel-linked cargo theft, extortion, supplier infiltration, and hidden criminal governance.
The conversation explores why organized crime understands logistics so well, how cartels target specific cargo, routes, companies, and workers, and why the absence of visible violence during the World Cup does not necessarily mean lower risk.
Chris also explains why companies operating in Mexico need deeper due diligence across partners, 3PLs, beneficial ownership, subcontractors, drivers, customs exposure, and supplier networks.
